Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Subtle, scar-free nose enhancement, with no downtime
At Mittelman Plastic Surgery in Los Altos, Dr. Harry Mittelman offers a non-surgical approach to a traditional rhinoplasty using injectable dermal fillers. Patients from throughout the Bay Area choose this procedure to achieve a more symmetrical, refined nasal appearance. No anesthesia, incisions or lengthy recovery time required!
What Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses injectable dermal fillers to reshape and refine the nose. It’s ideal for patients seeking to correct minor nasal abnormalities without the downtime or commitment of traditional surgery.
This technique is especially effective for:
- Nose shape
- Nose size
- Straightening the bridge
- Refining or lifting the tip
- Smoothing small bumps or depressions
- Correcting minor post-surgical irregularities
Benefits of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Dermal fillers used in non-surgical rhinoplasty offer several benefits, including:
- Temporary improvements – if you are unhappy with the results, a new plan can be pursued in just a few months.
- Natural-looking results.
- Dermal fillers allow for precise correction and are highly versatile – the level of precision they offer may not be able to be achieved through surgical rhinoplasty.
- Results are apparent right away, unlike with surgery where results may not be apparent for a full year.
- Patients are awake and conscious, making sure the look provided by the fillers meets their objectives.
- No downtime, unlike the surgical alternative that can require months of recovery.
It’s a convenient, temporary solution that can be customized and fine-tuned with each visit.
Fillers Used
Dr. Mittelman uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that are safe, flexible, and effective for shaping the nose:
These fillers can be dissolved if necessary, giving patients peace of mind and flexibility.
Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Right for Me?
This approach works best for patients who:
- Want to correct mild to moderate cosmetic concerns
- Are not ready for or interested in surgery
- Have good skin elasticity
- Seek refinement rather than major structural changes
- May be looking to correct minor imperfections after a prior rhinoplasty
Not every case is suitable for fillers, especially if more extensive reshaping or internal correction (such as a deviated septum) is needed. Dr. Mittelman will provide personalized guidance during your consultation.
What to Expect: Procedure and Recovery
The non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure takes about 15–30 minutes and is performed in-office. Patients are awake and able to give real-time feedback during treatment.
Aftercare Instructions:
- Apply ice packs for the first 24 hours
- Keep your head elevated
- Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the nose for 2 weeks
- Limit strenuous or contact activity for at least 2 weeks
Use makeup gently, and be cautious when washing or drying the face
How Long Do Results Last?
Results vary depending on:
- Type of filler used
- Injection location
- Your healing time and response to the injections
Follow-up treatments can maintain or enhance your outcome.
